Hypothesis

The paper aims to validate an IIoT architecture through experimental application in a real-world microgrid scenario.

Conclusion

The study successfully demonstrates the feasibility and suitability of the proposed IIoT architecture in monitoring and managing data in industrial applications.

Supporting Evidence

  • The architecture was validated through four experimental cases in a microgrid setting.
  • Grafana was used for data visualization, demonstrating its effectiveness in industrial applications.
  • Data acquisition and monitoring were performed using a combination of open-source and proprietary technologies.
  • Communication protocols like Modbus TCP and HTTP facilitated seamless data transmission.

Takeaway

This study shows how to set up a system that helps factories use modern technology to monitor and control their machines better.

Methodology

The research involved implementing a four-layered IIoT architecture in a pilot microgrid, using various hardware and software components for data acquisition, storage, and visualization.

Limitations

Grafana cannot directly exchange data with PLC memory, requiring middleware for data handling.
